What it is

Choices can lead to different lives, such as a corporate career with little social time or a guitar-playing character working as a waitress. The game also includes choices about personal safety, including whether to buy a burglar alarm or rely on martial arts or a pet. It is a single-player game with Family Sharing. Steam lists Windows, while the broader platform facts also include macOS. Its listed Steam genres are Indie, RPG, Simulation, and Strategy. The release date listed on Steam is September 20, 2023.
